This project is about the creation of a fictional, and yes, Earthlike world with a rewritten history. I hope to get more people collaborating, because I'd love to see this take off. I was thinking we could first do a map of the world, and then fancy it up, decide on plate tectonics and that other stuff, and then start writing history. So if anybody has suggestions for a world map, then feel free to share them here! Also, here's a basemap if you want to contribute: http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/attachment.php?attachmentid=206761&stc=1&d=1371083022
I think we should do a modern day map, based off of this: http://i.imgur.com/rBrpNut.png, and then decide on the tectonic plates. I think I also have a good map made by our good great and amazing cheeseSC4, and if he wants to share it, he can.
A little backstory: It was inspired by the collaborative world project at Alternate History.net.

I say that the story should start the day that Windows 8 was released on earth. 
Nah... That's a bit ridiculous. Anyway, I really like the concept. I'll have to think of some stuff to contribute sometime tomorrow when I have some time.

Progress is (very) slow but steady on this. I have a map coming up and a forum has been created (which will be revealed later)

I set up a wiki here, hosted by none other than altervista. It's not very stylish, it needs a logo and some customization to be fully presentable.

I think a wiki is actually a pretty good idea. I would help with the logo, but you guys know that graphics design isn't really my thing.
Anyway, glad to see things moving forward with this.

We could actually create a separate board or section for this here at Makestation if it took off as well. We'll see what happens.

Do you have a footer icon that I could use? I want to put it in the footer because this is where the project originated, and it's a great site.

Not yet, but I'll try to get one designed very soon. I think it's a great idea and something we could use here.

Sounds like a great idea, but I'm a bit tied up on other RP things, I could provide some help if you needed though.
